Famous quotes containing the word carrion:

    Not, I’ll not, carrion comfort, Despair, not feast on thee:
    Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)

    So every journey that I make
    Leads me, as in the story he was led,
    To some new ambush, to some fresh mistake:
    So every journey I begin foretells
    A weariness of daybreak, spread
    With carrion kisses, carrion farewells.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
